Abstract
After 4 years practical experience in growing Maku Lotus seed crops and with the help of research, an establishment and management package has been developed that should ensure growers of more reliable seed yields than in the past. information on herbicide requirements, irrigation, pest control closing date, flowering, pollination and harvesting techniques are included. Nevertheless an analysis of gross margins based on a return of $lZ/kg suggests the return on investment is inadequate considering the high risks involved. Keywords: Maku Lotus, Lotus pedunculafus, seed production, management, herbicides, harvesting, gross margin.
